How to Make Crock Pot Applesauce Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat your slow cooker.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup applesauce, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Gently fold in 4 cups of cubed stale bread (about 1-inch cubes).
  4. Lightly grease a 2-pound coffee can with cooking spray. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared can.
  5. Place the coffee can inside the slow cooker.
  6. Carefully pour enough water into the slow cooker to come about halfway up the sides of the coffee can.
  7. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and then tightly with a layer of foil to prevent moisture loss.
  8. Cook on high for 3 hours, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker; check for doneness after 2.5 hours.
  9. Carefully remove the coffee can from the slow cooker using oven mitts. Let it cool slightly before spooning the pudding into serving dishes.
  10. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
